There is definitely something to this. Basically any man who takes their shirt off in a film is generally ridiculously muscular. As in, a body shape that's only achievable with hours of intense training a day, probably with an expensive personal trainer, diet plan etc. I remember an interview with Henry Cavill (The Witcher) describing the process of dehydrating himself on days before shirtless scenes to enhance muscle definition.

I know it affects me. Looking at media 20-30 years ago I don't this was as prevalent.

It's all steroids. Hours of training and some super rigorous diet plan is all a ruse. It's steroids.

People have recovery time, hours of intense training a day is physically not possible, atleast not in the way which would build muscle for the type of shitless shots.

It's steroids and hours and hours of training. Steroids aren't magic, you still need to work for it.

You can't have hours and hours of training without the fast recovery effects of roids and various PEDs.

Mentioning hard work is completely unnecessary, it is a given.

Following the programme and rep-ing till failure isn't necessarily particularly "hard work" especially if you're roided up.

The difference between using and not using roids & PEDs is so massive, that all this mentioning of "hard work" is extremely disingenuous.

People don't want to watch movies with ugly people in them if possible. This is why a series like the Witcher has a at least a 50/50 general balance in the enjoy.ent if the TV show even though the player base of the games is a sausage fest...
